"OBITUARY
Minnie Ann Barnes was born at New Virginia, Iowa, March 17, 1874 and answered her Master's final call December 9, 1925, at the age of 51 years, 8 months and 22 days.
Minnie moved with her parents from New Virginia, Iowa to Holt County, Mo. Where they resided until March 1881 when they moved to Oberlin, Kansas, where she met and later was united in marriage to Charles L. Barnes, November 20, 1892. To this union was born eight children all of whom survive their mother. She was the oldest child of a family of nine children three of whom together with her mother, preceeded (sic) her to their heavenly mansion and are there to welcome her home. Besides these she leaves to mourn her loss, a loving father, a devoted husband, her eight children, three brothers and two sisters together with a host of relatives and friends. She was baptized in the Baptist church in her girlhood days and on January 15, 1911, she became a member of the Methodist church at Wauneta, and was a member of this church at her death. Altho she was not an active worker in the church she always reverenced her Creator and did what she could to help the cause advance. Minnie was a fearless untiring worker and like Dorcas of old she was full of good works and alms deeds which she did for as long as anyone needed help in any ways she was ever ready and willing to do her share and to help bear the burden without complaint. Her last illness was of short duration and her Merciful Father answered her prayer in that when her time came to go that she might go quickly and without suffering. She took suddenly ill while drying dishes and in spite of all that loving hands could do in a very short time she had crossed the river Jordan to join her loved ones gone before and she now stands on that celestial shore, her hands beckoning to ones left behind and her spirit is continually with us to help us bear our cross without murmur that we hear our summons we may be able to meet to part no more, where heartaches are never known, where no parting words ever are spoken and where tears never moisten the eye. She has fought a good fight, she has finished her course, she has kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give to her at that day, and not to her only, but unto all of them that lover His appearing.
